Though the company is making strides in the aerospace and automotive industries, it's still heavily tied to the ups and downs of the semiconductor market. At best I think this company is a market performer, but the reason for my thumbs down here is management. Both the CEO and CFO have presided over a company that has gone nowhere in terms of market value for nearly 20 years. They own around 1% of the outstanding stock, but have instituted a poison pill provision that pays them nearly $25 million in the event of a change in control, or if an outside party acquires 40% of the stock or is successful in electing indepedent, non-incumbent members to the board. Shameful. Strong underperform.

Made some fat points on a long term green thumb on Mentor Graphics in 2010, which I closed in 2012. I think it is due for a pullback at these levels as it's valuation has become more difficult to justify.

A real POS company that has run up a lot of debt, and has completely incompetent management.

MENT is coming off a good year with continued growth. They continue to slowly increase market share in a traditionally slow growth industry. They have a number of leading edge products and technologies that allow them to take business away from competitors, and this trend should continue.
